UcATIoN.-By those who read Alright the
signs of the times, it is seen that impor-
tants advances in education are destined to
be made in the not very distant future
And thGse advances are not to be, rs some
have been in tho past, wholly or partly de-
structive. For true philosophy Of pro-
gress, destructive advance does not exist.
The present is rooted in the past, and the
future will draw its nourishnent from the
present. Any change or development Is
conditioned by that which is changed and
developed. We cannot destroy present
conditions if we will. We may alter,
amend, or eoHpteract them but their anni-
hilatiop Is possible neither in thought nor
fact. Therefore 1t Is that those educational
reformers who would sweep away all that
now exists, before they begin their work of
construction, are harmful agitators. They
raise demand that they cannot supply
They waste time, and thought, and money
The true educational progress is going to
be mose scientific, more philqsphic, than
this. 1t will take things as it finds them.
and mould them to Its purpose. 1t is no
sign of sound educational thinking to Join
the senseless clamor for the sweeping away
of Greek, of philosophy, or everything else
that cannot be at once coined into dollars
and cents. Utility is never going to be the
test of the true education. The true pro-
gresS will suffer no such lowering of its

the development Of man, and the whole
man, as man. But it will ask whether we
baye not overlooked some of mans faeal-
ties. 1t will inquire with what reason we
have in the past instituted feudal system
among the human powers, which relegates
some of them to an undigni6ed servitude,
and gives to others all the honor and esteem.
Have we not overstepped the limits of
science in this respect?-.Science.
